Yuki,
My market timer was Short on Dec12 [after the Oct21 Short !!] and 
will buy again in 15 bars.
Serious or not, take a look at this Nikkei clock, a double price for 
this year was not bad at all...
STARTBUY=DateNum()==1030131;
STARTSELL=DateNum()==1030217;
Buy=BarsSince(STARTBuy)%25==0;
Sell=BarsSince(STARTSell)%28==0;
Short=Sell;Cover=Buy;
